That is so interesting, Penny. Thanks for sharing. ALmost makes me
want to go back to school to study it. Seems fascinating. Has to be
very expensive though.
One thing occurred to me though. The virtual model has that
typically 1950s wasp waist that is incredibly small. The butt is
pretty big too. I went back to look at the real model they designed
from and noticed that she is not built like that, so they obviously
did some enhancing there to achieve that 50s look. I know that women
were able, with the help of corsets, to get those small waists, but I
never thought anyone could get such a tiny waist until I saw
Vampira. You wouldn't believe it possible unless you saw her.

Back in 1997, I searched for graduate level programs to do this for
costume and fashion. At the time, I couldn't find a program.
MIRAlabs is working on a few more projects similar to this:
